Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• What wet grip should I look for on the Peugeot 407?

  For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.

• What's different about the 2004-2011 407 compared with other generations?

  This is the 2004-2011 generation of the Peugeot 407. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.

• What tyre size does the 2004-2011 Peugeot 407 use?

  Common UK factory fitments for the 2004-2011 Peugeot 407 include 205/60 R16, 215/55 R17, 225/45 R18, 235/45 R18. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.

• Can I downsize from larger wheels on my Peugeot 407?

  Some trims of the 407 can be downsized to a smaller OEM-approved wheel, which often gives better ride and lower tyre cost. Peugeot usually publishes approved alternative sizes — check the handbook before changing wheel size.

• Where should I check the original tyre size for my Peugeot 407?

  Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.
